Mothers Know BestThe effects a person has on another can mean much. These effects can either make or break that individual. Having a prestigious strong mother is the best thing anyone could want in his or her life. Everything my mother taught me lives within me today. She’s a hard working women and she influences me to work even harder. The way she take care of her family prepares me to do the same when I start my own family. Being a single parent caused my mother to build this unique bond with me that I’m grateful for. Her view on the importance of education motivates me to never give up. Her support gives me strength and she takes pride in everything I do. My mother has to be the most influential person in my life and the effects she have on me will truly make me a better person in life. My mother started teaching me as soon as I was born. She felt that teaching children when they are very young is one of the most important activities you can ever do as a parent. Reading books was the norm for us. I learned how to read and pronounce big words at a very early age. In school I use to love having spelling bees because I was really good at spelling words aloud as well. Being able to read and spell made me feel great because kids my age wasn’t on the same level as me. My mother also felt that just spending time with me is educating me. She always told me that children whose parents don’t spend time with them end up doing the wrong things in life. I didn’t understand why my mom wanted me to learn at an early age for and I always told her that I will learn in school and that she didn’t have to teach me. But she made it clear that yes I will learn in school but I will only excel because of what I already know. Everything my mother taught me lives within me.

Having two jobs and being an only parent has to be a challenging task. My mother is a hard working women I truly don’t understand how she does it. All the obstacles she’s been thru in her life just...

...MotherKnowsBest is a Lifetime movie based on a true story. The movie came to television in 1997. All the names and the locations were changed in the movie. The true story is based on the Lee Goldsmith murder- for- hire case. Goldsmith, a Florida socialite, hated her son in law so much that she hired someone to kill him.
The true story
Goldsmith, was so anxious to find a suitable husband for her daughter, Arleen, that she took out an ad in the local paper: "Nice Jewish Girl Wants to Meet Nice Jewish Boy." David Brownstein is the man who answered the ad. However, Goldsmith could not bear the thought of her daughter marrying Brownstein because he was not professional. An auto repairman would not have been impressive enough for Goldsmith's socialite friends, so she concocted a plan to ruin his life. According to testimony, Goldsmith, did everything she could to break up the marriage. When that didn't work, she decided to have her son in law murdered.
The murder-for-hire plot
In 1990, Goldsmith hired a contract murderer. She paid Thomas Brennen $1,000 up front, and then once the death was confirmed she would pay the remaining $9,000. She had no idea that Brennen was really and an undercover cop. Police videotaped Goldsmith paying Brennen to kill David while meeting in her car. Police arrested Goldsmith and charged her with solicitation of first degree murder. She was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

...MotherKnowsBest
There is a quote that says, “Mothers are angels who teach their children to fly.” Indeed mothers are angels, even though we often think that mothers were meant to torture us especially in our adolescent years when we would rather go out with friends instead of washing the dishes or doing our homework, our mothers nevertheless become our pillar, not just of faith but also of strength. Mothers may often be misunderstood but it does not mean that they don’t knowbest.
My earliest memory of my mother is that of a radiant face. For me she was the most beautiful woman alive and nothing compares with her. Even if she was unlike the celebrity mothers who wear designer clothes or gets to eat in fancy restaurants all the time, my mother is, in other words, real. My mother seemed to be passive and quiet however she was a formidable foe if you cross her. I loved the way she combed her hair getting ready for bed, letting those deep brown locks loose, shiny against the glare of the overhead light. I loved the way she would caringly wipe my back for perspiration after playing under the hot sun all afternoon not minding the fact that I smelled like a sweaty sock worn for two weeks. On the incidents that my sibling and I cross my mother, those big green...

Do Fathers KnowBest?
Do you think your life would be affected differently if a father whose sexual orientation is homosexual raised you? In most cases it would be different because you would have one man who is homosexual as a parent instead of one man and one woman as your parents. Although, your life could also be affected differently if you were raised by one woman and the man wasn’t fully involved in your upbringing. In the two articles I read, “Children of Gay Fathers” by Robert L. Barret and Bryan E. Robinson and “Absent Fathers: Why Don’t We Ever Talk About the Unmarried Men?” by Rebecca M. Blank, both involve how their choices affect the outcome of their children’s lives. Barret and Robinson’s article and Blank’s article display more differences in their work than similarities. The article “Children of Gay Fathers” involves concerns about the influence of living with a father whose gay, which involves the effect of the awareness that one’s father is gay (Barret and Robinson 410). It also incorporates the worries about the right time to come out to children and generates sensitivity to how the children experience society’s negative thoughts towards homosexuality (Barret and Robinson 410). The article “Absent Fathers: Why Don’t We Ever Talk About the Unmarried Men?” explains the population of unnoticed single fathers and the child support that very few of them pay.
Even though these articles have mostly differences,...

'Parents knowbest as far as careers are concerned.' Before I give my point of view, let me define career as a sequence of occupations, jobs, and position engaged in or occupied throughout the lifetime of a person. Career is much more that having a job or earning a living. It is a series of roles played by a person. In a career you can feel that your abilities are being properly used, that the work is worth doing, that it is interesting. It is necessary that a person must make his or her own career choice so that one can choose what matches with their ability, their values and interests in life. However, talking of parents making career choice for their children is not totally unacceptable. Thus, I'm in the neutral stance.
First of all, my question to all who agree that children should choose their career, are you more experienced than your parents? We choose our career when we are about 17 years old. So do you think that you have explored more life than your parents? They come across hurdles and are now successful so they know how people are and have the recipe to be successful. In addition, don't you want to see them happy? They give away every joy of their life and save money for us and we can't just listen to their just a single demand.
Besides, most parents feel that they have a right to get involved because they are paying for their children's education. It is difficult to argue against this. It seems unreasonable not to...

...The best way to know God is to learn about him through religion. Though there is much room for skepticism, religion is one of the oldest practices for a reason. People need to believe that there is more to life than simply working towards death. It seems to me that it doesn’t hurt to believe, but it certainly hurts not to. To delve into this notion further, I will use my own religion as an example. In Catholicism, we believe that those who have an understanding of God and devote their life to living in his image will be rewarded with everlasting happiness in Heaven. Though it is sometimes hard to make the right decision, it seems fairly easy to me to live a good life. Those who reject religion and refuse to get to know God in their life, in my own opinion, are rejecting him because they want to do bad things and not feel guilty about it. I am not by any means saying that I am a saint (that’s where God’s forgiveness comes in), but I am comforted by the fact that I believe that there is a God and that I will one day find out what the “secret of life” is.
If God shares the world with us, we will no longer be left in wonder of his presence. If God is as almighty as the books say that he is, I think that the world would definitely be a better place because people would be extra careful of their actions, words, and thoughts. Since the mystery would be gone, everyone would have to believe that God exists. I believe that...

...has got to be the best story that I have read for 2011……
This story begins when I was a child: I was born poor. Often we hadn't enough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son! I'm not hungry."
That was Mother's First truthful Lie.
As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten; my heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and said, "Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish."
That was Mother's Second truthful Lie.
Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to bring home some used matchboxes which she filled with fresh matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candlelight. So I said, "Mother, go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working tomorrow morning." Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, son! I'm not tired."
That was Mother's...

What’s the big deal about breastfeeding? This question has been usually asked by most mothers and curious individuals. Health practitioners would often weigh the advantages and disadvantages of breastfeeding and formula feeding but they would just come up to the same frequent answer: breastfeeding is the best and cannot be replaced by any commercially-prepared infant formula milk. This statement has existed for a very long time and I strongly believe that with the support of recent studies and researches, there will never be a time that this assertion will be null and void.
In the Philippines, the Department of Health (DOH) has urged healthcare facilities that provide services to pregnant mothers, new mothers and newborns to follow the “10 steps to successful breastfeeding” recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to ensure that infants are fed adequately with mother’s milk (PhilStar, 2010). This very supportive attempt of the health agencies of the government to promote breastfeeding should impress mothers on how they are cared...
